"Be a Toy"

Revelation

Artists:

Title Fight's 2012 LP Floral Green was a solid collection of raw-throated, power-chorded pop-punk with one major exception: "Head in the Ceiling Fan", a woozy alt-shoegaze ballad where the Kingston, PA band went out back to count stars over gorgeous, slo-mo guitars. The song felt like a clear indication that Title Fight were going to be a very different band going forward, and they appear to be making good on that promise with "Be A Toy."

A track from the Spring Songs EP (out November 12 via Revelation), "Be A Toy" is indicative of Title Fight's more textured and considered take on their influences. Recorded straight to 2" analog tape, the slackjawed melodies and ramshackle riffs are evidence of Title Fight's confidence in their new direction; the guitars and vocals are seared with warm distortion rather than shellacked with studio polish, while retaining the melody and energy that made Title Fight stand out amongst the Warped Tour crowd to begin with.
